Whoa. If the Kremlin is turning their backs on Assad, he’s cooked.
They are pulling back so that Iran can go in.
I can see Ivan bailing out of Damascus since it’s rapidly turning into a trash heap. But we’ll know the Russians are gone if they abandon the naval base they’ve been renting there for quite some time. I don’t see that tho. I would expect Pootin to put out the word to everybody in the ‘hood that he will defend that base and he expects the long term lease to be honored by whoever claims to be running Syria. But he has the Crimea back now so either way he still has a warm water port.
I hope he takes out a million fellow muzzies by what ever means necessary before they get him.
